Pre-Professional Studies

Although no specific major is required to apply for postgraduate study in any of the medical fields (e.g. medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, podiatry, osteopathy, optometry, etc.), certain courses are recognized as beneficial to students considering such career options. These are the basis for the Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with a Pre-Professional specialization. Professional programs in medically related fields give preference to students who have completed courses in biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and English. Also helpful are courses in biochemistry, biostatistics and genetics.

Requirements for Recommendation for Admission to Medical, Veterinary and Dental Schools:

Senior status in Pre-Professional program, a cumulative quality point average of 3.0, and an average of B earned in mathematics and science courses in first three years.

Graduation Requirement

 A grade of C or better must be earned in all required and elective science courses.
